Go Sluggers!

I can’t believe the day is finally here…Crawford starts t-ball practice tonight.  Games start in April!

We got “lucky” and are on the So Inviting Sluggers!  Kyle, Bo and Matt are coaching.  You think their sons are excited?  These boys are the best of friends!

Amanda and I’ve been “mildly” worried about the boys (meaning our hubby’s) having their stuff together.  We were amazed at what we saw.  They were organized.  The kids loved it.  They did a great job!

Cade and Con entertained themselves.

Mr. Matt doing batting practice with Crawford.

They lined them all up and let them run the bases.  Some kids “skipped” first.  Not, Crawford Garmon.

So excited for Thompson to join this crew.  We have a great team!

I knew it would be “din” time when we were done.  So, we packed a picnic and played on the playground  Look at JD – man how does she get so messy?

When we got home, Bo got to see how Crawford spent his afternoon.  He made a baseball field out of sidewalk chalk.  What are the things in the back?  Well, I asked.  “Those are the lights for when I play in the bigs.”  Amen, Crawford.  From your lips to God’s ears.  Looking forward to many, many, many nights at the ball park.

Soccer Coach–Dad?

Crawford has been so funny about Bo coaching soccer.  He just “knows” it should be Coach Case.  But today – he was o.k. when we said Daddy was just subbing and Coach Case would be back soon

 

Con loves playing with Miles’ sister!  I love it because free babysitting

I will say, I’m Bo’s toughest critic.  Prayers that t-ball continues to go so well with Coach Bo!

Spring Break 2012 Continues–Garmon Style

If you’ve read my blog – you know by now – the Garmon’s don’t quit before all of the fun has been done.  So, this morning after packing up – we decided to do some stuff in Branson before officially declaring Spring Break 2012 done.

We hit the range at Payne Stewart.  I rarely get to see Crawford get to take a full cut at the ball.  Wow – kid has game!  Need to call Dyer and get him so “official” coaching!

Conlee just likes to hack at it! But, she has fun with it.  I was shocked when Crawford could actually get it up and down out of the bunker!

The setting is picturesque!

The kids love being our family photographers!

We were NOT leaving town without a trip to the Titanic museum.  Tagg (who is in Crawford’s class) has been – and he’s been obsessed with it ever since.  Let me tell you.  This is no “rinky-dink” Branson deal.  It’s so well done.  We all 4 really enjoyed it!

After a late lunch at where else – the Rowdy Beaver (yep totally took my 3 & 5 year old) – we hit the road headed home a bit before 2.  The great thing about Branson – you are home in less than 2 hours!

The kids were dying to get in their swimsuits – so we did!

We did “loose” Crawford when he had to go inside to watch Tiger finish.  I’ll admit – I love, love, love that he likes golf and baseball so much.  It’s in his blood!

Con was content to keep the party going by herself.  This is how I found her!

Crawford was not hitting the shower without some baseball action.  Bo made the comment, “How fun that I can actually go have a real game of catch with my son!”

Look at this guy.  Love it.

When did he grow up?

Seriously.  I couldn’t get enough of my sweaty, baseball player drinking a Capri Sun on the curb.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again – can I please freeze time?  My kids were so good this weekend.  We had genuine FUN with them.  I don’t want them to grown another inch!  I know.  I know.  There will be many more fun times to be had.  But, goodness – they are so much fun at this age.
